Oil Spill? Plan vacation to Caribbean or not? Help?

NO! , don't book a vacation to the Dominican Republic. Why would you want to go vacation in a poverty stricken nation where there is also a US State Department warning in effect about possible violence and robberies of tourists. The possibilities of the oil reaching the DR are very slim but the beaches there are not the best in the Caribbean that I have seen. NO, go to a place where you will be safe as well as far away from the very unlikely event of an oil slick showing up. Go to Cancun, Aruba, Grand Cayman, St Thomas, ST John, St Martin, Cozumel, Barbados, or even Jamaica before you consider going to the DR.

Forget the DR and go to a better beach and a better place.

The oil spill is nowhere near the Caribbean islands. Read through some news reports and look at maps of the spread of the oil. As they've been saying on the news for the past week, the oil seems to have "disappeared", so I doubt it will be suddenly appearing in the islands. Also, the currents don't run in that direction.

I have been the the DR twice. The first time I went to a beach on the south shore and was not impressed. the second time I went to a beach on the north east shore and it was one of the most beautiful beaches ever. there will be no oil either place. It never got near the DR.

Yes! Book Your Vacation. The oil spill currents on the after flow will not bring the spill to thr region.

NO!! it ought to attain Vera Cruz or Tampico if the gusher maintains. the two are no longer extremely popular from now on. it rather is impossible for it to circulate to Cancun or everywhere on th Riviera. the reason fo course are consistent ocean currents which will take the oil to the seashores of Pensacola and the Florida keys and up the east coast to Canada and then to Europe, it rather is named a " Loop cutting-edge" in the Gulf. Please see the link nicely , there ya go...If I observed you had a ninety six% maximum suitable answer i does no longer have spoke back your question

we got back from a carribean cruise last month and there was no oil at all. i think from what i read that the gulf stream picked up most of the oil and took it morth. you should be ok
